Episode 5: Madhu Pandit (57) - architect / educator / partner at NMA
A very special episode with my Delhi-based Sister-in-law Madhu Pandit, an architect and mother, who shares her thoughts on sustainable architecture, her love of Delhi, her childhood in Kashmir, her favorite books and more. I learned so much about her inspiring work designing museums, schools and other iconic buildings all over India (including what it was like designing India's National Gallery of Modern Art extension at age 25!).
Even as a family member, it's a rare treat to spend an hour on-on-one with the eloquent, thoughtful and beautiful Madhu, so I hope you enjoy this chat! Full episode below or on iTunes here, and don't miss shownotes at the end to go deeper into her world!
